CELL SORTING
Our state-of-the-art fluorescence activated cell sorting equipment can sort anything from bacteria to nematode eggs.
BD INFLUX
With a wide range of nozzle sizes, the BD Influx can analyse and sort a large range of particle sizes, with the sort set-up tailored to each sample type. A range of collection options are available, with capability of index and up to six-way sorting. Fully sterilised sorts are also an option. Our team can manage the running of the sorter, and will handle all aspects of the sort aside from sample preparation – the user simply brings their prepared sample, assists in gating set-up, then collects their sorted product upon completion of the sort.
We have experience sorting bacteria, yeast, DCs, T cells, macrophages, mast cells, eosinophils, neutrophils, primary tumour samples, side-populations, gut and skin samples, parasitic nematode eggs, vaginal cells, buccal cells, to name a few.
